A local company that focuses on pickles is closing its brick-and-mortar shop more than three years after opening it as what initially had been considered a temporary pop-up.

Eater Boston is reporting that Grillo's Pickles is shutting down its store on Cambridge Street in the Inman Square section of Cambridge, though a note on its Instagram page says it hopes to pop up again somewhere else soon. (It is not yet known whether the new location will be temporary or permanent.) Both EB and Grillo's say that the pickle company will continue to sell its products at grocery stores on the East Coast, and it is presumed that they will still be available at various farmers markets around the region.

The brick-and-mortar location of Grillo's Pickles initially opened as a pop-up shop in January of 2012, while the business itself first started out in 2008 with owner Travis Grillo debuting a pickle cart on Boston Common one year later.

The address for the Grillo's shop in Inman Square is 1075 Cambridge Street, Cambridge, MA, 02139. Its website can be found at http://www.grillospickles.com/
